I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World (Web Novel)

The bodyguard beside Jiang Chen immediately kicked open the door to the interrogation room and rushed in. However, when the military doctor arrived, Diarra’s heart had stopped beating.

“Died of heart failure… We found a drug containing propafenone and metoprolol tartrate in his home in Madagascar. According to the autopsy report, he had stopped using the drug for two weeks.”

At noon the next day, in the mansion’s office, Ayesha reported on Diarra’s autopsy report.

“I see. It’s a pity.” Jiang Chen sighed.

Originally, Jiang Chen hoped to develop Diarra as an insider for Celestial Trade. He would use the slavery chip to monitor him, return him to Europe through the form of interest exchange, and collect intelligence of the Freemasonry.

It would be great to determine the whereabouts of Carmen or the other level 33 members.

At this moment, Aisha quietly interrupted his thinking.

“Should we do it?”

A photo fell gently on the table. The blonde woman in the photo had a bright smile on, along with her two daughters. This photo was taken in Munich, Germany. It was Diarra’s wife and daughters whom Jiang Chen previously threatened.

After a long moment of silence, Jiang Chen sighed and shook his head.

“It’s not necessary…He has already passed away.”

Ayesha nodded, smiled, and gently replied.

“Mhmm.”

…

Good news came from the Moon colony. The moon mining station succeeded in extracting 100 gram of helium 3 from the soil, and the cost converted was only 11,000 Xin New Dollar.

To feel how low this cost is, simply reference the tritium that could be also be used for nuclear fusion. As a nuclear material that can be collected from Earth, the price of tritium was more than 10,000 US Dollar per gram. Because most of the tritium was produced in UA, the amount of tritium the UA permits for annual export was only about one kilogram, and the main purpose other than industrial and experimental use was to manufacture neutron bombs.

Helium-3 did not produce neutrons in the fusion process. It only produced protons that were not radioactive, and it would not produce the radiation people feared. It was a clean energy source. From this perspective, the price of helium 3 should only be more expensive than tritium, and it should be much more expensive!

With a solution to the energy problem, many more issues would be resolved immediately.

After the completion of the space elevator and the introduction of super long-distance wireless power transmission technology, the new round of energy revolution would be led by Future Group. The world officially entered a new “electricity era.”

With the advancement made on the Moon set aside, after the end of the civil war in Madagascar and President Bernard taking care of the country domestic affairs, his first stop for diplomatic visits was Xin. After the meeting with Xin’s president, Zhang Yaping, the new president made a low-key visit to Jiang Chen’s mansion to meet the country’s behind-the-scenes controller.

With an entire drone attack group acting as his security guard, Jiang Chen’s mansion was definitely one of the safest places in the world.

The accompanying bodyguard stayed at the door. Bernard and his assistant entered the mansion. He immediately extended his hand with a smile when he saw Jiang Chen.

“Hello, Mr. Jiang Chen, on behalf of the people of Madagascar, I would like to offer you the highest respect!”

“You’re flattering me.” Jiang Chen smiled and shook his hand. “Welcome to my house, Mr. President.”

It was still during working hours, so only Jiang Chen and Ayesha were in the mansion.

After Bernard was invited to take a seat, Jiang Chen sat across from him. Ayesha made black tea for them and then quietly left the living room.

Without a lot of small talks, Bernard explained the intention of the visit.

“The La Jonah rebels have been annihilated. When is your party prepared to withdraw from Madagascar?”

From Bernard’s cautious expression, Jiang Chen wanted to laugh but instead, he took a sip of the tea.

“You can, at any time, see when you plan to end their employment.”

Seeing Jiang Chen was easy to talk to, Bernard and his assistant all sighed in relief.

At present, Celestial Trade’s Foreign Corps on Madagascar totaled 3,000, and there were also more than ten armored vehicles, tanks, and other military vehicles. It was no exaggeration to say that this 3,000-strong force completely surpassed the military power of Madagascar.

With a gunpowder barrel in the country, how could he not be worried as the president?

Before arriving, Bernard wondered how he would convince Jiang Chen if he did not plan to withdraw from Madagascar. But now it seemed that these concerns were extraneous.

But were the concerns extraneous?

What he did not notice was that Jiang Chen had a faint smile on his face.

“Then, before we withdraw, let’s settle your debt.”

“Debt?” Bernard muttered.

“Yes.” Jiang Chen nodded.

Ayesha, who had previously left the living room, brought back a document.

After roughly glancing at the cover of the document, Jiang Chen rubbed Ayesha’s head with a smile. The latter closed her eyes with happiness and left the living room again contentedly.

“The employment cost of Celestial Trade, as well as the previously delivered arms to your force, and the secret agreement signed on behalf of your party by the former President who suffered an unfortunate fate. All the expenses are on here. You can go through it first.”

Whether it was reorganizing the army or running for president, the amount of money spent was not a small sum. What’s more, they didn’t have a choice at the time, even though Jiang Chen’s side was raising the price, they could only swallow and accept.

However, Bernard’s brow was twitching when he saw the 11 billion US Dollar bill.

Madagascar’s GDP was only around 10 billion US Dollar a year. Where could he find the money?

With the tightening fiscal, he wished to borrow from Future Bank.

“This agreement…”

“The signature is there. If you doubt it, you can test the fingerprint on it.” Jiang Chen smiled.

“We don’t have much money at all.” His words didn’t come out fluent at all.

However, he couldn’t dare to say he was not repaying. Debt defaults would immediately make the already deteriorating investment environment immediately drop to freezing point. If a country could easy forfeit its debt burden, it would be completely isolated by international capital.

Bernard could not help but curse at the assassinated former president. However, cursing a dead person could not solve the problem of the alive.

“I didn’t ask you to pay back the money immediately.” Jiang Chen looked at Bernard, who could not articulate at the moment, then he continued, “Moreover, I’m more interested in more valuable things you have.”
